Selena Gomez Not Being Pursued by James Franco Despite Tabloid Report

James Franco Texting Selena Gomez “24/7 With Date Ideas” the tabloid headline reads. But nothing could be further from the truth. Franco isn’t texting his “Spring Breakers” co-star and definitely isn’t trying to date her, according to our source.

Tabloid magazine OK claimed in its latest issue that Franco, who is 14 years Gomez’s senior, is going all out to woo her.

Franco also has to be leery about getting close to considerably younger girls. Last April, he jeopardized his career when a 17-year-old New York City tourist revealed how Franco tried hard to lure her to his hotel room.

His creep quotient went through the roof. The exchanges were generously described in the media as “flirting” but they were actually hard demands for sex. Franco survived the scandal, but pursuing someone like Gomez brings it all back.

So is he a creepy predator or not?
